Tthe ruler of the Kupul
In this new WIP we can see the ruler of the Kupul, with their chief deity, Kukulkan.
The Kupul ruled one of the most important chiefdoms of the Yucatan peninsula during the arrival of the Spanish, whose power sparked the fall of the city of Mayapan, which came before Chichen Itza. Kukulkan was the chief deity of the ruling lineage of the Kupul and served as the way (nahual) guardian of their dynasty.
The worshiping of Kukulkan was far common in the theocratic society of the late Classic period and the Postclassic period, where the cultural influences of the central region of Mexico fused with the beliefs of the Maya, sharing unique aesthetic and architectural styles that would be known as the international style of Chichen Itza.
